A decision I haven't regretted until just now, when the shutter broke a week after warranty and Nikon UK workshop are taking weeks to get it sorted.As Nikon prioritized the D series of fixed lens cameras for the newer bsi-CMOS sensor and there was a good deal on n1 j5, I got one to see how much improvement there was in the sensor. Considerable, especially on colour balance, which was always a bit iffy on the n1 v3. But NO VIEWFINDER at all.OK you can't have a 70-300 lens swinging loose, and using a cheap loupe as a workaround is not an ideal solution, and pretty dumb as it is as big as the camera.The investment in the 70-300 lens and clip on viewfinder for the n1 v3 was twice as much as for the camera body and kit lens. It seems grossly unfair of Nikon to leave me and other owners of this kit with no successor to what appeared to be the top-of-range Nikon 1 series camera.I wonder if there enough others in my position to get together a petition to Nikon for a n1 v4 and SOON.Is the Nikonites site able to forward it? (Will also try dpReview, but Nikonians seems a bit, well.., why am I here)I offer my website <a href="http://www.pbase.com/crisscross/root&view=recent" target="_blank">Chris Morton's Photo Galleries at pbase.com</a> as credentials as a serious photographer</blockquote>
